Who needs K-ETA? Travelers from visa-exempt countries must apply before arriving in Korea. Processing time? Usually within 72 hours. Validity? Approved K-ETA is valid for multiple entries within two years. Pro Tip: Apply at least a few days before your trip to avoid last-minute delays!
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea (MOFA)
If you need to stay in Korea for more than 90 days for plastic surgery or other medical treatments, you can temporarily leave the country and re-enter to reset your stay duration. Same-day departure and re-entry are allowed, meaning you can leave Korea and return on the same day without issues. However, ensure that your visa or K-ETA status remains valid before re-entering.
For longer stays, you may also consider applying for a Medical Tourism Visa (C-3-3), which allows for an extended stay depending on the treatment duration. Always check the latest immigration regulations to avoid any unexpected issues.
